Muscat Changeling
We’ve been hanging on to this one allowing it to grow in complexity. Almost a year since we first brewed this beer had plenty of time in oak barrels to impart soft, delicate vanilla flavours. The grape must gives us a wonderful, subtle fruitiness backed up with easy going acidity. We are proud of this … Continued
Old Money
This beer won’t have the Beerazzi foaming at the mouth, but if you’re looking for a straight up brown ale that won’t club you over the head with alcohol, we think we might have just the thing. Subtle notes of milk chocolate with just a hint of blackcurrant from the addition of Bramling Cross hops. … Continued
Ten Times Ten
The intention here was to recreate the quintessential, slightly butch American Pale Ale with that big piney nose only Centennial Hops can give you. The hops for the current batch were grown by Bredenhof Hop Farms near Abbotsford. Illustration by Post Projects.
Klutz!
Built like a lager, but fermented with an ale yeast, our tried & true Kolsch is meant for quenching thirsts, not blowing minds. (unless your mind is blown by the sheer scale of it’s thirst quenchable-ness).
Stockholm Syndrome
We kidnapped a Saison, held it hostage for several months in our Foudre, letting it sit & condition on Brettanomyces. The more time passed the more it started to like us. It rewarded us by tasting delicious. Stockholm Syndrome can be a beautiful thing.
Inertia II
Aging our Inertia stout in Barton 1792 barrels just pushes the ISU’s off the charts!!! (ISU’s ? Oh, International Smooooooooove-ness Units of course). Seriously though, the barrels round out any rough edges & give the beer more complexity. Coconut, Cherry & oak melds perfectly with the big roast malt, coffee & chocolate character of the … Continued
Spirit of DIXmas
You may or may not know that our brew system was from the legendary brew pub DIX. Former brewmasters Derrick Franche & Tony Dewald put DIX on the map for its killer IPA. If you can believe it 20+ years ago, IPA’s really were not that much of a thing here, in Vancouver. It took … Continued
King Maker
We’ve always wanted to have good quality lagers available at Brassneck. However, due to production restraints and the amount of fermentation time a really great Pilsner deserves, our capabilities to produce this kind of beer have been severely limited. (mostly ’cause you buggers drink the beer so bloody fast!) This is only the second time we’ve … Continued
Passive Aggressive
This was the first beer Conrad test brewed in his shed. “That’s it” we said. This was the first beer we brewed at Brassneck. A bright Pale Ale with a strong hop backbone. The ever so slightly sweet malt character plays second fiddle to the punchy hops. Somewhere between a pale & an IPA, Passive … Continued
Multiweizen
A riff on the Hefeweizen style, Brassneck “Multiweizen” is made with 5 grains. Rye, Wheat, Barley, Oats & Corn. We open ferment with a nice authentic hef yeast. The open fermentation allows the yeast to go bonkers, producing all kinds of fruity esters. The combination of the fruitiness, gentle cinnamon & clove characteristics of the … Continued
